hi my name is shannon i'm in day 3 of quit, i am slowly learning new ways to change my way of thinking... I have a good trainer so that helps.. Today hasn't been too bad but i still have my guard high an i'm constantly getting on the site reading an learning it seems to help! i have been smoking for 17 yrs so i know its going to be a struggle but i am doing it an i will continue to quit 1 promise at a time... I have an event to attend this weekend an i already have anxiety thinking about it! Advice would be great! i also am not the type to reach out for help of any kind or talk to people about my weakness, so this is all new to me!

Congrats! Day 3 is huge! We won't have time to drive up there this weekend, but I'll tell the others I will personally kick their asses if they let you smoke a cigarette 'fireman'
Only you can do this, but we're here every step of the way.

thanks!!! i will do this! just have to keep my mind clear!

Welcome. Don't listen to that Rewire character - he's always full of shit.
Just kidding - of course.
When a crave hits, remember your promise. A crave lasts 3-5 minutes, then it's over. Grab some digits, and if the crave seems more than you want to handle, reach out to someone.
Post your promise every morning, and keep your word. It's simple, but hard as hell to do. But, every one of us has been through it. If we can, you can.
Proud to be quit with you.

Just to empahsize what RDB said - "A crave lasts 3-5 minutes." It can seem like a lot longer, but really, it's not. If you can find something to help distract you for that time, it can be a big help. I basically lived on KTC my first few months, reading; there's a ton of stuff here to help keep you occupied and get you through those times. I also found that perusing tvtropes helped distract me as well :)

Looks like you changed it
*poof
And welcome to KTC

Yes, what they all said.
You can do this, every day, no exceptions for no reason.
Read all you can and jump in chat or text or talk in your group.
Lots of water, exercise and use seeds, toothpicks , gum , candies for the fixation.

Congrats EQ on your HOF day!
Outstanding, well earned.
SPEECH!!
Your battle was hard fought and won, don't ride quietly into the sun.
There's folks out there on the fence waffling, the quit or not to quit urges are jostling.
You can be THE voice of reason and tip them into their quitting season.
Please dear Endless, don't be shy, LET THE WORLD HEAR YOUR VICTORY CRY!
Congratulations on the HOF!!!
